Chelsea Golf Club is "The Golf Club on your Doorstep"

 

Our aim is to provide the ultimate indoor golf experience for our members. We do this through the use of industry-leading Trackman Simulators and by providing lessons from some of the country's best coaches in a relaxed welcoming environment. Our long-term aim is to be the number one indoor golf experience provider in the World helping all levels of golfers to enjoy the game.

Chelsea Golf Club was first conceptualised in September of 2020 off the back of Covid by a 29-year-old Aaron Lloyd-Goodwin. Having taken up Golf properly for the first time like many others during Covid, he was frustrated that he had not gotten into the game sooner and found himself wondering why?

 

It's expensive.

The equipment alone (which is the first and most obvious thing to blame) costs thousands. To join a Golf Club in or around London costs thousands. To have lessons to get any good costs thousands. Even practicing at a driving range over the course of a year can end up costing thousands (depending on how often you go)

 

It's time-consuming

Getting to a golf club will take most people in London at least 30 minutes. By the time you play a round of golf, you have spent a minimum of 5 hours (without warming up) which is a good chunk of most people's days and apart from a month or two during summer, is not going to happen during the week.

 

It's intimidating

 

Going to a public driving range is bad enough when you are starting out. Shanking, hooking, topping and skying balls all over the place is embarrassing when you have veteran golfers all around glaring at you. This is taken to another level at golf courses where members quite simply don't want you there taking up their tee times and practice space.

 

It's antiquated

We live in the 21st century, and it has taken Covid to drag the golf world kicking and screaming into the modern era. With dress codes and women only in the last decade being allowed to join as members of some clubs, Golf has not been welcoming to today's younger generations. Most driving ranges you go to have no data or feedback, so you instead have to rely on lessons, videos of yourself and youtube videos of how to improve your swing and even then you don't necessarily know exactly what you are doing right/wrong.

 

The result

So instead of asking these questions and forgetting about it, he took the Richard Branson attitude of "Screw it, Let's do it" and set about putting all the pieces of the puzzle together and setting up Chelsea Golf Club as we know it Today. Having learnt a hell of a lot in the first year of being open the Journey Continues and we are aiming to open two further sites in the coming 12 months.

OUR STORY

Chelsea Golf Club was born to fulfil a desire to make golf more accessible to everyone. Following his frustration during Covid at wanting to take up the sport but not having access to a course, and feeling disheartened at endlessly queuing to hit "range balls" with no real feedback and no way to improve, our Founder, Aaron, wanted to create an environment where golfers of all abilities can practice and progress, that is not just designed to get you in and out as fast as possible. Come in, have a chat, have a drink at the bar and bring your friends! 

 

We live in a world where everything is at our fingertips. Why should golf be any different?
